No offense but I think making dozens of gaming youtube videos and beating resident evil 4 three times makes you a gamer

I wish Mario actually used a RPG

"ensconced" Instant like.

Having not played the original past the first hour I appreciated this. I've been on the fence about buying the remake and this may have convinced me to give it a try. I enjoy retro games so I'm sure I'd enjoy the original. I do generally notice when RPGs are too easy though so either version may give me some frustrations in that regard. I found Persona 5 way too easy even on the higher difficulty levels.

I like the animations for the timed hits. It’s far clearer how well you timed it now, a problem I had when I played the original on Virtual Console. I didn’t even know the damage changed as dynamically as it does. I thought it was a strict hit or miss like Paper Mario. Now it’s much easier to judge through trial and error

If you ever need a break from Pokémon TCG challenges, there are a few Mario RPG challenges you could try, like different solo character runs. I understand solo Mallow and solo Bowser are a ton of fun.

Come on algorithm, show me more Paraspectre. I didn’t see this until days after it posted!

Should've replaced the big mushroom on Parasect with a Mario Mushroom as your Mario persona.

I am very happy for you and the Super Mario RPG community getting this remake. I know how much this game is loved by rthe fans and being able to have such a faithful remake is a blessing. I personally hope this opens the way for a Thousand Year Door remake, that's one of my favorite Mario games.

When I was a kid most of the bosses were super hard for me but that's because I didn't understand the concept of leveling up so I just ran through the game as fast as I could and avoided regular enemies as much as possible so by the time I got to a boss I was way under leveled.

Its interesting that you have as a mixed that the game doesn't change enough then go on to call two of the main actual changes negatives. You also dropped the new soundtrack really early. It sounds like you wanted a more exact experience, so then why is that a mixed?

I loved the remake. I wonder if you played the post game extra bosses. They had neat little gimmicks, added some difficulty, and added new content. So I feel like they addressed a lot of your issues, but I'd also get not including them in the review, not fighting them, or feeling like they didn't add enough to offset the issues in the main game.

#1 request for this game that didn't happen was ability to remove Mario from the party and it didn't happen.

I do wish the game had a hard mode but I love it anyways. Have you tried the romhack Super Mario RPG Armageddon?

Also I don’t mind the gauge because you can ignore it, but the splash damage for perfect hits made it way too easy to blow through some battles and I wish you could turn it off

Hey! First time I played Mario Rpg. I really loved the fast pacing of this game unlike other Rpgs. You see a lot of areas, hear different music and fight soo many bosses in like 10 hours.

Man dont gatekeep yourself once a gamer always a gamer lol

I was born when super Mario RPG was released which was 25- 30 yrs ago that's Old never played Mario RPG.

It's nice to hear your take on another franchise than Pokemon, your Pokemon vids are great, but it is refreshing to hear about another game you're passionate about.

This should be interesting.

I agree to everything. Still my favorite

Honestly, I get your issue with party switching, largely because of Pokemon. I always like planning out my team and experiencing different mons on different runs. But nowadays, the abundance of experience basically means you either constantly rotate team members or end up massively overleveled. I used around 30 different mons in my Violet playthrough alone and I've been doing it this way since Sun and Moon. It feels like replayability suffers a bit.

I see you dont mention it but Super Mario RPG was made by Square Enix which means they are partial rights owners meaning if Mario RPG 2 were to ever happen Sony and Nintendo need to come together and sign off on it again. Which would never happen again. Nintendo wanting another story based Mario and didnt want to deal with Sony anymore made Paper Mario. Its light on the rpg aspects but its still turn based and most important of all the great story and characters came back. If you liked RPG story and characters you should really give Super Paper Mario (N64) and Thousand Year Door a try. They're really good! They still have soul and fun. Super Paper Mario (Wii) was the last one with a neat story but the fun characters are gone. After Thousand Year Door Nintendo cracked down hard on creative liberties. Tho youre free to skip it and only play Paper Mario (64) and TYD. After that point paper mario became so ass. The story, fun, and characters became so soulless. Its sad! Basically everything that made this series great. Up yours Nintendo! I was very dissapointed with this remake. They made unnecessary dialogue changes among other unecessary changes and its too damn easy! It was so boring! I decided not to buy the game because i will never approve pointless changes and making things unbearably easy.

Are you saying that bullying Matthew doesn’t count as gaming?

New Nintendo games are so easy.... It really detracks from my enjoyment. They really need to add a hard mode or challaneges for unique achievements during the game

No comments on the postgame content? I was pleasently suprized at the new harder fights, but also a little mad - like how dare you tarnish my childhood memories with your tacky "bonus content" - Booster would never say something like that. Then I finished it and wished there was more bonus content...😢

I remember when my husband tried to get me to try this game, I just couldn’t get into it
